I promise you, if you tell me when you are going, there will be a free pint waiting for you.
Dont forget that.

Guess where my first trip will be to after all this is over.
Cheers @Dave7

Many years ago I went to a Gilbert and Sullivan concert in which Richard Baker was the host. He was immaculately dressed and his silky smooth voice I can still hear. Delightful times.

I met him in the bar during the interval, at a Vaughan Williams concert by the Orchestra of the Swan at Stratford on Avon many years ago.
Very amenable chap.

Yes, as long as I put it in the shed occasionally, goes back to when we hadn't been in our first house long and I had my bike knicked from out the back.

 

[PaulSB]

Just got in from 28 miles at 14avg. Set off through the country lanes towards Eccleston and Mawdesley and onward to Hunters Hill, the target for the day. The riding was easy but some strong gusts moved the bike around a lot. After defeating Hunters headed for home via Wrightington where I picked up a brutal and cold NE headwind. Jeeeez what a grind to get home.

Next job make a cuppa, have biscuit and start to deep clean the kitchen cupboards.
